The agenda for tomorrow’s Board of Directors meeting includes approval of resolutions on transportation funding priorities for a regional ballot measure in 2018 and reallocating funds from the 2014 Transportation and Road Improvement General Obligation Bond to various programs and projects.

Our Board of Directors meetings are usually held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. The agendas are posted under “meetings” on the Board’s webpage 72 hours in advance.

Residents and hungry neighbors gather at Village Pizzeria for the Van Ness Improvement Project’s Meet the Expert speaker series, held each month at a different business on Van Ness.

As a sponsor of San Francisco Small Business Week (SFSBW), which takes place next week, we're proud to support the 85,000 small businesses that are an integral part of San Francisco's community and culture.

As part of SFSBW this year, we will join BART, SFO Airport and Caltrans to co-host a workshop called “Doing Business With Transportation Agencies,” where we'll help educate small business owners about opportunities to contract with local transportation agencies. All are invited to join the workshop on Monday, May 15 at 10 a.m.

“The SFMTA is committed to creating better, safer streets for people who bike and all other road users, and that starts with infrastructure that separates cars, bikes and pedestrians,” said SFMTA Director of Transportation Ed Reiskin. “Over the next five years, we will invest more than $112 million into 92 miles of bikeway projects. These projects don’t just create safer streets, they help us reduce congestion and air pollution at a time when more people are trying to get around San Francisco than ever before.”

When thinking about creating a better transportation system in San Francisco over the next 50 years, which values like equity, safety, sustainability and economy vitality are most important to you?

We’re asking that question with on-street pop-up tabling events around the city and an online survey as part of Connect SF, an effort between city agencies to create a vision for transportation in San Francisco over the next five decades.

This summer, we’ll expand our effort by working with the new Connect SF Futures Task Force, which is made up of neighborhood leaders, transportation advocates, community groups, regional voices, civic leaders and business representatives.

Bike commuters in a protected bike lane on Polk Street at Hayes Street on Bike to Work Day last year.

This Thursday is Bike to Work Day, which means it's the perfect time once again to pedal out and join the two-wheeled commute crowd (if you're not a regular already).

As with each year's event (this is the Bay Area's 23rd), bike commuters in San Francisco can stop by one of 26 "energizer stations" on major bike routes for free snacks, beverages, tote bags and other goodies to reward them for getting to work in a sustainable and healthy way.

Left: A new parking-protected bike lane on 13th Street, from Harrison to Bryant Street. Right: Freshly-installed concrete dividers on eastbound Division, from Bryant/11th to 10th Street.

Fresh paint and concrete are drying on new bike lanes on 13th and Division streets, where the safety improvements approved earlier this month are under construction.

The road markings for the new bike lane are mostly complete on eastbound 13th, from Folsom Street to Bryant/11th Street. That includes a new curbside, parking-protected bike lane on the block from Harrison to Bryant Street.

Concrete dividers, which help provide a more protective and comfortable barrier between curbside bike lanes and vehicle traffic, are also coming to both directions of Division between 10th and 11th streets (where 13th becomes Division).

How Weird Street Faire

Sunday, 12 to 8 p.m.
SoMa

The 18th annual counter-cultural gathering known as the How Weird Street Faire kicks off at noon this Sunday at Howard and Second streets in SoMa. This celebration of peace and love will be filled with art and performances, assorted vendors, food and drinks and much more.

How to Get There on Muni: The 8 Bayshore, 10 Townsend, 12 Folsom-Pacific, 14 Mission/14R Mission Rapid, 30 Stockton and 45 Union-Stockton routes will take riders close to the festivities.

Muni Service Note: The 8, 14/14R, 30 and 45 routes may see increased ridership and possible delays. The 10 and 12 routes will see reroutes and possible delays.

Starting next week, we will begin work at Muni's Kirkland bus yard in Fisherman's Wharf that will require some disruptions on the block surrounded by Beach, Stockton, North Point and Powell streets.

This work, which is expected to last about nine months, will replace two outdated, underground fuel tanks used for refueling Muni buses at the Kirkland yard with a safer, more efficient system.

The new fueling system will store renewable biodiesel and feature double-walled tanks, a new monitoring system to detect leaks and faster, more reliable fuel dispensers. During the tank excavation, any contaminated soil and water will be treated on site and disposed appropriately.
